Research[edit]
Tim Hesterberg contributed to statistical research by authoring a textbook, several articles, and a software package. These are:
- A 2011 undergraduate student textbook titled Mathematical Statistics with Resampling and R.[2]
- A 2015 article titled "What Teachers Should Know About the Bootstrap: Resampling in the Undergraduate Statistics Curriculum".[3]
- A 2015 R (programming language) software package titled `resample: Resampling Functions`.[4] This package is intended to be easy to use. It performs bootstraps, permutation tests, and other sampling refunctions.[4]
- Several scientific articles including Bootstrap,[5] Least-Angle Regression and LASSO for Large Datasets,[6] and Least Angle and L1 Penalized Regression: A Review.[7]
